As a secondary science educator, I welcome the many great challenges that will inevitably be dealt to my classroom doors. I want the many responsibilities that are associated with a diverse group of learning levels within a science classroom setting. With students excelling at their respective learning level, they will be a part of a welcoming and safe learning environment that sponsors respect for all. In this classroom environment, they will be active within scientific inquiry through questioning and investigation. Building a meaningful curriculum that addresses and accomplishes classroom objectives will give students direction of what we will achieve, and how we will reach those achievements together as a community of learners.
With students bringing their diversity of learning, as well as their different ethnic backgrounds into my classroom, I will incorporate an atmosphere of welcomed acceptance of both culture and learning ability in order to strengthen the building blocks of their self efficacy. My secondary science classroom will have a comfortable and safe learning environment, which not only embraces cultural diversity, but also welcomes the diversity of learning styles and levels of the student body. My students, as well as my coworkers, will appreciate my motivation and work ethic when we are collaborating together to reach common objectives, as well as come to have full trust invested in me over the course of the school year.
Not only will I create a classroom environment that encourages students to ask questions, but an atmosphere will be created for students to also develop questions. If a student does not have a particular question or comment to what is occurring in class at a particular time, the classroom atmosphere that will fill the doors of my classroom will promote students to create any potential questions they may have by learning and listening to their fellow peers. With active listening to other questions and comments by their classmates, this will stimulate the development of their own thoughts that they would like to contribute to classroom discussions. Within scientific inquiry, this development of questions will serve as an avenue for critical thinking when my students are completing assignments, investigating laboratory phenomena, or reaching solutions. This development of questions also represents my students becoming independent thinkers and learners by being jumpstarted by the contributions of their peers.
Not only will I will create interactive lessons to engage my students in what we are exploring, but they will also be meaningful. Designing a science curriculum around true meaning that is directed towards the specific learning processes of students will translate into purposeful activities, assignments, and assessments that will continuously build in significance. Connections to today’s world with scientific current events will be a catalyst for not only initiating interest with my students, but for also keeping that interest to investigate why these topics are so relevant in today’s evolving world. Being reflective of how students come to their end results will be imperative for not only them, but also myself. In their learning experiences, the total journey of how they performed their scientific study is as equally important as how they reached their final conclusions. Reflection will serve as a tool to discover strengths, but also identify those areas that need improvement so they can be turned into successful learning attributes.
With the enthusiasm for the subject I love, students will come to learn and grow within the field of science as well. I will be a role model for the students in my classroom as well as the students within my school building with my great attitude and personality. The way of motivating, reaching out, and connecting in such a way with my students will allow a mutual trust to grow between us. These beginning relationships will just begin to explain my effectiveness as a difference maker within the school community. These characteristics of being an overall responsible and trustworthy leader will not only be highlighted with making differences within my students’ performance in the classroom, but it will also propel them to excel within their studies of other subject areas. This impact will also reach out to my fellow colleagues as well. My overall personality when working with others, my caring nature, and my determined work ethic will positively affect all within the school building.
Within my beginning years of teaching, continuing my own education is a goal that I will accomplish to assist in my own professional growth. As I continue to expand on my knowledge within an education program, this individual professional learning opportunity will not only benefit myself, but also the students and colleagues with whom I interact with on an everyday basis. Continuing my own learning experience will have a significant impact on my own science classroom. Continuously sharpening education strategies for improving instruction will be beneficial within my personal planning process, the facilitation of activities, as well as how science topics are presented within my classroom. Another goal I will accomplish within my beginning career in education will be participating in professional development opportunities that highlight successful methods that are being implemented in other science and technology classrooms that I can incorporate into my own classroom doors.
Immediately setting a classroom tone that promotes a safe learning atmosphere will be necessary in order to allow students to be actively engaged in their education. As students have a comfortable and positive attitude about classroom participation, learning through asking questions, as well as actively listening to their peers’ questions, this will stimulate their own learning experience. By providing opportunities for my students to succeed by creating significant activities, assignments, and assessments, an appropriate science curriculum based on reaching goals and objectives will be implemented. This classroom comfort level, learning through questioning, as well as a purposeful science program of study will be paramount throughout the school year with the students, as well as throughout my career as a secondary science educator.
